On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order No. 12543,
President Reagan declared a national emergency to deal with
the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security
and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
actions and policies of the Government of Libya. On January 8,
1986, by Executive Order No. 12544, the President took additional
measures to block Libyan assets in the United States.
The President has transmitted a notice continuing this emergency
to the Congress and the Federal Register every year since 1986.

The crisis between the United States and Libya that led to
the declaration of a national emergency on January 7, 1986, has
not been resolved. The Government of Libya has continued its
actions and policies in support of terrorism, despite the calls
by the United Nations Security Council, in Resolutions 731
(1992), 748 (1992), and 883 (1993) that it demonstrate by
concrete actions its renunciation of such terrorism. Such
Libyan actions and policies pose a continuing unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and vital foreign
policy interest of the United States. For these reasons, the
national emergency declared on January 7, 1986, and the measures
adopted on January 7 and January 8, 1986, to deal with that
emergency, must continue in effect beyond January 7, 1995.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the
national emergency with respect to Libya. This notice shall
be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the
Congress.
